Joe,
Although the link suggested by Mike below is a great resource, it discusses the oil Pressure gauge and sender.
I was able to acquire a custom made sender that replaces the drain plug to use as the oil temp sender.
I had to wait a while to get this sender but the guys at Bus Boys were able to get this to me.  Check'em out at http://www.bus-boys.com  You may need to send a e-mail to them describing what you are after, it is custom.
The only issue with the drain plug replacement is that the wire could get yanked off in the wilds while driving off road or in the snow.
Hope this helps,
Joel
